Juliet && Honey Jumping -- 21/6/2008.

[BethanHorseMad]

Sooorrry, but I agree with Aliyification :/ She has too much foor in her stirrup, and needs to keep her heels down ;) Im only saying it to help her so that she doesnt injure herself, so pleease dont think Im being a pain for the sake of it ;) And also dont throw the reins at the horse over the jumps, although the jump is still really small, they need a contact over the jump for that the have something to balance on =)

[Aliyification]

Shorten up your stirrups, I like how you are trying to stretch your leg down but you have WAY too much foot in your stirrup. So shorten the lengths and keep your heel down.

Also you need to keep your lower leg on top of the girth, it's always behind you which isn't safe and doesn't look good. Try riding without stirrups to gain some strength in your calves.

The last thing is don't break your wrists. You want a straight line from your elbow to your hands to the horses mouth.

[malialove333]

nice vid but try staying wit the horse and keeping ur heels down more

[LoveRideLive]

really good! maybe if you shorten your sturrups it might help! ;)

[bethany54782]

You look good !!! the only thing is that u need to keep your heels down and toes up,and try not to slip your leg back over the jump...also it would help if you tied your hair back cos if you fall off and the pony treds on your hair then all ure hair is gunna be ripped out...trust me i've seen it happen ;)

[tillynbella]

you look brill, and the only thing i'd say is to keep the heels down and your legs swing back just a teeny bit too far over the jump.

but awesome jumping

[Amiiee91]

i love honey ! she never siezes to amaze me lol

[horseygirl236]

Prehaps you should approach some of the jumps at trot first like e.g at 0:57 when she refused. Great otherwise though and remember....HEELS DOWN!!!! xXxXx

[theratlady]

it would help but her stirrups are incredibly long for jumping OR dressage!

[Jazz0208]

Honey is young - still learning!

[Bethanyhorseyloverxx]

is the horse quite lazy coz you cn see it in the jumps !!!!!

[mysecretskill]

No she's not.

[mopperson101]

u need a breastplate cuase your saddle pad (which is pink omf awsome) is slipping back :) and saddle

[Dees65]

Looks good. Nice to see how you ride on the other side of the world. We live in the Netherlands. I also sent you a vid-message.

;x

[mysecretskill]

Thanks - I watched it :)

[littlemissn018]

Just a little tip :)

you look brilliant, and your positions goood.

but, heels! keep them down i do it aswell occasionally whilst jumping but i always try not to, my friend fell of jumping and her heels wenrt down, got her foot stuck, dragged into a jump and trampled on. she broke her ankle and cant ride now. so try your hardest :)

look good though :)

[Amiiee91]

right ok this is really pissin me off now !! stop tryin to correct her from one video ! u all act like perfect riders wen i bet yor not !! jus fuk off yh

[iluffdavidtennant]

If its pissing you off, you should see what other crap comments we have, often from people who don't even have video's of themselves riding.

[Amiiee91]

dont you worry livvy i will !! see u sat xx

[ThePLVXShow]

cool beanss.

See you.

=)

xx

[milkyhomefry]

ya the stirrups r really too far back try to keep them on the ball of ur foot which im sure u already no lol. i usually get the stirrups far back after i jump, but im getting better. good job though the pink and purple jump is pretty.

[cromwellandlucy]

aww there so cute!!! you might want to tell her that when she jumps dont slide her leg back keep it firmly in place :D other than that BRILLIANT jumping really sweet! that was constructive not being mean :D xx

[PonyMadGal95]

keep ur heels dwn cuz if you fall off ur foot will get caught in the stirrups and the pony will drag u and it will help ur balance

[Jazz0208]

I forgot to thank mysecretskill for such a professional looking film - it's really fab - music, slow motion and captions - great job - we're all enjoying it so much at home!!It's a relief that Honey is becoming a pleasure to own!

[mysecretskill]

Thank you :D.

I'm glad you liked it.

[24HorseMadGurl24]

thanks for the advice guys! I'm working on my heels they are pretty bad lol

[HondaThoru]

Aw my a gorgiouse horse.

[mysecretskill]

Yeahh .. Honey is gorgeous :P

[Luranisthebest]

Brilliant riding Juliet!

[horsejumpr911]

Juliet just watch your heels because it looks like the stirrups are too far back on your foot. When they are on the balls of your feet and your heels are down your balace will be just right! Other than that great job!:)

<3

[Lara4everandever]

shes good but heels and the stirrups on the balls of her feet.

[gill666666]

really good control but she really needs to get her heels down especially if you guys want to start jumping higher.

[24HorseMadGurl24]

yeah she only uses it to really comment on Bon Jovi clips lol

[mysecretskill]

Lol. My mum doesn't even watch videos of me riding.

She's 'too scared I'll hurt myself'.

[kirstenbuchan]

:L:L

My mum is exactly the same :L She's scared of horses lol

xx

[24HorseMadGurl24]

XD you should of heard my mum she was saying "Ohhhhh Juliet look at you go!" my mum is Jazz0208

[mysecretskill]

Your mum has an account??

Wow...that's awesome. My Mum would never go on Youtube. She has no interest in horses whatsoever :/

[Jazz0208]

Awesome is the word well done - remember those heels and it will be PERFECT!

[24HorseMadGurl24]

i love it!!! so does my parents! thank you!! sooo much! (air-hug)

[mysecretskill]

You're welcome! :D

I'm glad it's approved by your parents ;)

[baybeelaydee3]

heels down and keep your lower leg still moe :)

[jumpdressage4life]

heels but thats about it

[HorseyLover4]

Juliet said dont put vid on youtube of her !

[mysecretskill]

She said that to you :P.

But she's happy with me putting this one up :D

[bridled]

good video, cute pony! x

just one point; [for the rider] if you try to keep your heels down more you'll find your jumping positions & balance immediatly improve.

i was told that as i used to have trouble with my heels, but now im kinda tackling it:D

[kermitMCFC]

Your obviosuly a great rider, but your lower leg could be a bit more stable and heels down.

Apart from that, excellent

[Duckie407]

heels down is all i can say!
